I have mentioned Robert Genn's Twice Weekly newsletter before on Clayart
http://www.painterskeys.com/subscribe/#top
Todays newsletter Unconscious Confidence is a good read that answers
the statement I will only make pots for me better than I could.
I think Taylor in Texas still reads this newsletter.
All the best,
Tony

This is the biases for traditional apprenticeship training. All
the skills developed by Olympians begin as craftskill learning. Once
they master the basic skills, then the art comes in.
